My Reincarnated Wife Is A Little Too Sweet novel Chapter 33

“Will my mom be okay?” Amanda cried as she leaned in Richard’s arms. He hugged her tightly as he consoled her in a gentle voice.

“Auntie is a good person and she will be alright. You just need to be strong for her.”

“It is all my fault. If I had known this will happen, I would not have left her alone.” Amanda blamed herself.

“It is not your fault. But don’t worry we will soon find out who it was.” Richard said.

Amanda hugged him tightly as she felt a sense of security. His hard chest gave her a feeling that this man was reliable and he could not let her suffer.

Amanda raised her face which was full of tears and looked at Richard. “Thank you, Richard.” She said in a tender voice.

Hearing her call his name for the first time, Richard was excited as he looked at her gently. 

“Why are you thanking me. No one forced me to do this. I’m doing it at my own will. Don’t feel burdened. I just want to show you my sincerity so that you can accept my pursuit, not that I’m feel sympathy for you. I like you a lot Amanda.” Richard said.

He guided her to the bench on the other side of the corridor and made her sit down. He clutched her small hands in his big ones and squeezed them. He wanted to channel as much warmth as he could to her so that she could not feel alone.

...

Thomas came back after some times with a grave expression on his face

“Boss.” 

Looking at his face, Richard knew that something was wrong.

“What is it?”

Thomas looked at Amanda and did not know what to say.

“Just say it already. Why are you looking at her like that? This concerns her.”

“I have asked around and also checked the surveillance footage, the person who was in the ward was Peter Jackson, Amanda’s father. He had come to teach Amanda a lesson because of the rumours that is going around. He even went to the place where they leave. The neighbours told him that they are in the hospital so he came here directly.” Thomas said.

Amanda looked at him shocked. After her  parents divorce, her father acted as if they did  not exist. He did not even care if they lived or died. But because he had lost face because of her scandal, he came to trouble them.

“That is not all.” After Thomas said that, he handed Richard the tablet in his hand.

Richard looked at the trending video with a grave expression.

He passed the tablet to Amanda so that they can watch together.

Peter's face came into view the moment Amanda clicked on the video.

"Hello friends of the media, my name is Peter Jackson and I'm here to talk about the news that has gone viral about Amanda Jackson."

"Amanda Jackson is my daughter who I once loved and cherished. But she and her mother have done many things to disappoint me from time to time. I now want to declare that from today onwards, I want to disown this daughter of mine. She can no longer use the Jackson name and pour mad on my reputation."

"Today I specifically went to find her so that I can help but she was nowhere to be seen. I ask now reporters, don't associate any news of Amanda to my Jackson family or whatsoever, from this moment onwards we are no longer father and daughter."

The media and the internet was in an uproar. This video had been posted ten minutes ago but it has received many likes and comments.

After Amanda watched the video, she had no expression on her face. Although she did not expect much from her father and even loathed him, but what he did was too much.

Disowning her publicly without even hearing her side of the story made Amanda's body turn cold. Richard looked at her worriedly as he pulled her into his strong arms.

Amanda did not resist as she allowed him to hug her.

She was so angry and disappointed. She did not know how to vent her anger and could only cry her heart out.

After thirty minutes, Amanda lifted her head. She had cried untill no more tears were shed.

Her eyes were swollen and looked red.

She looked at the mess she created on Richard's shirt and felt embarrassed.
